Jun Yang, Professor of Computer Science

Jun is partnering with Bill Adair, a faculty fellow from 2015-16, to bring Jun’s research on data analytics to bear on fact-checking in politics. The pair are currently applying for a Knight Foundation grant to create a fact-checking software platform for journalists and media outlets to provide real-time fact-checking on time series data sets. The goal is to actively use student input to help create software platform and use the platform as a teaching and learning tool.
